They do a number of them, the regular Single Barrel, usually some kind of Anniversary one, and then every year they do a special version that blends their mashbills and yeasts. Sadly, one can only buy it at the distillery once a year... Last year's was using what they call their 'floral yeast'. Really, really delicious.
Hardly surprising that they are owned by Kirin, 'eh? It surely has the Japanese sensibility.
I've got a bottle of 2009 OBSQ Single Barrel sitting right in front of me. It's quite possibly the only bottle in the UK as my buddy brought it all the way from San Fran last week (purchased at D and M Wine). I love drinking it but when it's all drunk it's gone...so my hand is kinda hovering about the bottle not knowing what to do
